Introduction to mechanics using differential calculus as a foundation. Topics include kinematics and dynamics of linear motion, static equilibrium, the conservation of energy and momentum, mechanics of solids and fluids, and thermodynamics. The laboratory portion incorporates experimentation, instrumentation, and graphical tools to verify calculations in motion, mechanics and thermodynamics.

Introduction to mechanics using calculus, vectors and graphs to describe motion, and to analyze it in terms of forces and conservation laws. Applications include projectiles, orbits, oscillations and fluids.
